Stadsplanerare har det inte helt lätt. Städer måste byggas tätare eftersom omgivande jordbruksmark och natur måste skyddas - samtidigt som hälsokraven är högt ställda. Under fem år har forskare närstuderat förtätningsplaner i tre städer och hittat nycklar till hur den svåra ekvationen kan lösas. Lösningen är i korthet att fokusera på invånarnas välmående samt att inte bara följa befintliga standar
